Best Cros-Over producer

[Si the Sigh]

I like Timo Maas's stuff. He has produced some really good tracks over the years.

Kevin Martin (aka The Bug, God, Techno-Animal etc.)

Only sussed out that Techno Animal stuff the other day, picked up a 12" called "Babylon Shaker", it's deadly.

Or, more to the point, his production team has made some quite good tracks over the years.

what do you guys think about Timo Maas?

he's not my fave, but he is versatile. the first track of his i heard was breaks, and i was surprised when i discovered that he also makes trance, house and some techno.

i love that track he did with kalis (sp?) although the flip side was definatly the better side

When I opened for DJ Dan a long time ago, he played a whole mess of Umek/ReLoop tracks amidst the big disco house. That says something right there.

As for Picotto, his stuff is usually hit or miss with me. He did an awesome track called Pegasus a few years back, and his Athos 1 stuff is pretty good (especially that Brandy J Kat track on the Primevil EP). However, I've heard some tracks of his considered "techno" and they were straight up garbage.

DJ Preach from Montreal is pretty good at working serious crossover material, and it's usually quality. That "Stars" EP he did is just right for a clubby slot in your set, whereas I've heard a lot of trance DJs bang it as well.

i know of an artist that should have stuck with techno. nick sentience. seriously. i have some of his old records on a lable called sentience from like 98 i believe and they were pretty ass kicking tracks i think he is a very talented producer, but wastes his talent on shite. just my opinion tho. maybe he really loves it or something.

aye man!
"robotics" full blown 002

i liked when timo did Kinetic Atom "Borg Destroyer" on Phuture Wax an awesome track there don't think ill ever be gettn rid of that one.

i think Mauro Piccotto is great i really like where hes gone with most of his stuff. but i even got some of his downtempo /ambient stuff that i think is really good to listen to as well. he proves himself very versatile.

but i never fully considered him a hard house jock though very close i always thought he was more on the trancey side of things. but thats all nikels and dimes anyway.

yea i keep hearing these hard house guys talking about how they are all gettin into techno over here in the bay and then i here them play out and most of them sound like they are still playing energy at 150 bpms. also a good amount of them are trying to adopt into the psy scene as well. but when they play out HARD NRG still.

ACK!

Lots of good rave DJ have crossed over

Mickey Finn = from rave supremo to drum&bass god
Trevor Rockcliffe = from top rave boy to lame tech-house

[DJ Corbzy]

Would you class Andreas Kramer as a cross over artist, he never really made much techno way way back did he??

Now he's techno all over!
